Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

Because of Lin Jue's disharmony of spleen and stomach, what he ate this morning was porridge with shredded shrimp and shredded chicken, and a few other side dishes.

King He Rui used it quickly, and after eating a bowl of porridge, he said to Lin Jue while the maid was adding the porridge: "I heard Xing Ji talk about the voluntary school in Rongguo Mansion yesterday, and it's not a good place to go. Jia Dairu is just a rotten man who can teach you something good." Taking the porridge bowl in front of him, he said again: "Princess Xiaoyi's mother's family has an older brother named Chen Ju'an, who is famous far and wide. At that time, your father passed the examination, and Chen Juan was ranked first, and the number one scholar. I mentioned it to him a while ago, and I want to teach you to become his disciple."

Chen Ju'an has learned a lot, but he can really teach Lin Jue something. The most important thing is that the Chen family is still inextricably linked with Xiaoyi's palace.Now the wind in the court is unpredictable, only the Xiaoyi Palace faction remains unmovable in the hearts of the Emperor and Empress Dowager.

Hearing this, Lin Jue paused for a while, and then pretended to be safe, still scooping up the porridge to eat, and said softly: "Thank you for your kindness, my father will think about these things, so you don't need to worry about it."

"You still want to go back to that righteous school?"

Hearing the slight disgust in his words, Lin Jue sighed, put the porridge bowl away, raised his head and said, "I didn't even think about going back."

Only then did King He Rui feel relieved, and said: "I'm going to enter the palace today, I must have had dinner before I can come back. I'll order someone to take you back after breakfast, and if you have anything to do, come and tell me."

Lin Jue nodded indiscriminately, and swallowed the porridge in his mouth, his mind was like a mess, unable to get a clue.

Hastily ate his breakfast, rinsed his mouth, and Lin Jue got up to leave.King He Rui looked at him as if he had something to say, but in the end he held back all of his words, turning all those words into eyes, and focused on him.

Watching Lin Jue go, King He Rui just went back to the room and changed into formal clothes, and headed all the way to the palace.

The empress had finished her breakfast, and sat on the kang with Concubine Hui, taking the notebook of the respect room and looking at it.

Concubine Hui said: "I heard that the emperor's health has improved recently, and it's all because of the meticulous care of the empress."

The queen smiled slightly, and said in a warm voice: "The emperor is recovering, which is a great joy." Turning another page, she seemed to inadvertently say: "The emperor is very sick this time, but luckily there is no danger. You are all worried , I know. Recently, both you and Concubine Yuan have been ill twice, Zhang Cairen once, nobleman Shen once, and the rest is Concubine Ming thirteen times." She shook her head and casually took the notebook Close it, "The emperor dotes on Concubine Ming after all."

Concubine Hui pursed her lips and said: "No matter how much she is favored, the empress is the empress after all, and she has two legitimate sons under her knees. Concubine Ming's favor is only a matter of today, what will happen in the future, who knows?"

The queen really smiled, stroked her temples, and asked with a smile, "I haven't seen Yijiao for a long time, why don't you bring her to play?"

Yijiao is Concubine Hui's sixth princess, who is two years younger than the fourth prince, and is now fourteen.Today, the princess who cherishes the princess is better than the prince, which is evident from this name.

Speaking of Yijiao, Concubine Hui smiled softly and said, "Yijiao is naughty, and she is fourteen today, which is the age when she should be married. I was afraid that she would get sick after she came out, so I called her mother." Teach her the rules in the palace, and she is not allowed to go out normally. Since the empress misses her, I will lead her to pay her respects tomorrow."

"You..." The queen's slender armor was buckled on the small table, resplendent and resplendent, but it was out of reach at first glance. "The emperor loves the princess very much. Depending on where she goes, we can't make her feel wronged. No matter how good a princess is, who would dare to criticize her?"

"Yes, what the empress said is very true."

The two were talking, when they saw a maidservant come in, greeted the two of them, then said softly: "Empress Empress, Prince He Rui has just entered the palace, so he went to Qianyuan Palace."

The queen nodded: "Understood, where is the third girl?"

"Third Miss went to the Empress Dowager's palace after breakfast. She said that Aunt Tongyi was good at embroidery, and asked her to give some pointers."

"She has a heart, and I hope you don't let me down." She said, waved her hand casually, and ordered her to go down.

This third girl is the direct sister of the Shui clan of the empress's mother clan, her single name is Ying, and she has only turned thirteen, exactly the age of Huaguduo.Some time ago, because the queen said that she missed the younger sister in the clan, she ordered someone to come in.He lived in Kunyi Palace at night, but went to the Empress Dowager's Palace from time to time during the day.Concubine Hui had met her face to face, and knew that she was a good talent. She originally thought that the queen wanted to keep her as a side concubine for the third prince, but she didn't expect that she was here waiting for Prince He Rui.

"Ma'am, this is..."

The Queen sighed and said: "The talents of the Shui family have withered, and now only Rong'er and Ying'er are left. Ying'er is growing up day by day, and many things should be put on the agenda. Although Rong'er is the elder brother, he doesn't understand these things. It's because of me." As a big sister, I will take care of her." When he said this, there was a bit of sincerity in his words. "You have seen the current appearance of the Shui family. It is just under the shelter of the ancestors. It looks good on the outside, but it is not good on the inside. Even so, you can't wrong Ying'er. You should choose a high-ranking person carefully. With a big family, you have to have a clean family business and be a good person.”

The eldest sister is like a mother, and the empress thinks about it this time, she is really like her own mother.Concubine Hui felt the same for the queen because she wanted to worry about the princess.Nodding again and again, she said: "Your Majesty is very worried, you should be doing this. If you can't find another one from the Shui family, the empress's lack of honor is the second. The most important thing is that I am afraid that Miss Ying will not get used to her marriage and will be wronged again. .”

"That's right. I've been thinking about it for a week, and after a week of looking at the family of the right age, there are very few that I can catch my eyes. It's not bad that the Wei family has Wei Ruolan, but they are engaged to the eldest daughter of the Baoling Hou Shi family. I can't get a good result in the end, so I have to temporarily bring her into the palace, first teach her about the housekeeper, and then choose carefully."

After hearing this, Concubine Hui thought about it again, and finally smiled and said: "According to me, the empress does not need to worry about this. Miss Ying has such a good appearance, and the empress teaches her how to manage things. That is to say, I only have one Yijiao. If I can have a The son at that age will definitely beg his mother to betroth Miss Ying."

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then they felt that they were sitting in danger, so they got up and went to the imperial garden to relax.

I don't mention it here, but it is said that King He Rui just walked to the gate of Qianyuan Palace, and he heard the sound of porcelain falling on the ground, followed by the emperor's furious cry: "You bastard!"

King He Rui stopped suddenly, turned sideways and asked the servant standing outside, "Who is inside?"

The servant replied: "If you go back to the prince, Lin Shangshu and Shangzuo Taifu are here."

Thoughts circled in his mind, he raised his feet again and moved forward.Walking to the gate of the hall, there will be a servant passing in.

King He Rui stepped into the palace and saluted first, Lin Hai and Zuo Weimin all clasped fists to salute him, he returned the salute, and then said to the emperor: "Even if the emperor is furious, he should still think about his own body."

As he spoke, he stepped forward to pick up the memorial that fell on the ground, and sent it forward.

The emperor was still angry, he sat on the chair and said: "You don't need to give it to me, just wait and see, I can see if you are angry."

After hearing this, he still took the memorial back and opened it slowly.After looking at it, he was shocked and angry, holding the memorial tightly, turning his head to look at Lin Hai and Zuo Weimin.

"This memorial..."

Zuo Weimin stepped forward and replied: "Every sentence is true, so I dare not speak in vain. The death of the former prince and now King Xiaoyi is indeed suspicious."

Lin Hai was a step slower, but also said: "It is true."

Hearing this, King He Rui was furious, let alone the Emperor.Hearing these words again, the emperor was exhausted physically and mentally, and actually put one hand on the desk, with a sad face and tears in his eyes: "Yongning...my son..."

It can be seen that his grief is overwhelming and his heart aches.

King He Rui also had a heavy sadness on his face, the former crown prince passed away due to illness, which made them extremely sad.Now that it is involved again, it is said that the cause of death is doubtful, and it is feared that it will be harmed by others, how can it not be heartbreaking!

Although he regretted it, he couldn't make the emperor mourn and hurt himself to this point, so he had to hold back, cupped his hands and said: "brother, please take care of yourself, the man has passed away, the most important thing now is to find out the reason first, so that Yongning can rest assured .”

The emperor raised his hand tremblingly, and called out: "So, come forward and grind."

King He Rui stepped forward in response, the fragrance of ink was faint, and his words were like knives.As I wrote this stroke by stroke, I couldn't help trembling, and it was almost impossible to complete a sentence.

After writing an imperial decree, the emperor put down his pen and said, "Like the sea."

"The minister is here."

……

King He Rui came out of Qianyuan Palace and went all the way to the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace.

Gui Lan took the ginseng soup and poured it in. Seeing King He Rui, he said, "Just now the queen mother was still reading, and the prince came while talking."

King He Rui accepted her gift, and he didn't want anyone to tell him, so he went inside.As he walked, he said, "Why did you use ginseng soup before winter came?"

"This is the new white ginseng. The queen mother had a nightmare yesterday. The imperial doctor said that there is no need to take medicine, just eat ginseng soup." Kankan walked outside the Nuan Pavilion, and Gui Lan pursed her lips and smiled: "My lord, be more careful today. stop."

He didn't understand what she meant, but when he entered the door, he saw the Empress Dowager sitting on the kang with a young girl, the girl looked thirteen or fourteen years old, she was embroidering on the embroidery frame with her head down, Tong Yi was beside her, pointing a few stitches from time to time .Immediately understood, it must be because of this, I wanted to tell him to be more careful.

As he speculated, he stepped forward: "Greetings to the empress."

"Get up."

The girl put down her embroidery and stood up, she didn't dare to raise her head, she just whispered: "My daughter Shui Ying, please greet King He Rui." She raised her head and glanced at him quickly.When he saw it, his face was flushed, and his face and earlobes were red.

The Empress Dowager was satisfied with the appearance of a little girl, but King He Rui acted like a blind man, he pretended not to see him, he waved his hand to tell her to sit down, he only sat on the stool, and took the ginseng soup in Guilan's hand Deliver it to the Empress Dowager herself.

"I heard from Guilan that my son, mother and queen had nightmares yesterday. If you have any worries, you must tell your son."

The queen mother ate a spoonful of ginseng soup, and said angrily: "There are no others, I only worry about your future princess. But I don't know..." She glanced at Shui Ying with flushed cheeks, "But I don't know where I am waiting now you."
